Outside Time & Rhizome DC present a celebration of Alma Laprida's new album Pitch Dark and Trembling at Tonal Park: 7014-C Westmoreland Ave, Takoma Park, MD.
Pitch Dark and Trembling, out 10/25 on Outside Time, presents improvised work for tromba marina and subwoofer, recorded in 2023 at Bard College. Laprida will be staging an extended improvisation for the same instrumentation, capturing the intense swells of low end rumble and droning feedback presented on the album.

Geologist will open the evening with an improvised performance for hurdy gurdy and electronics, bringing another instrument with medieval origins into the contemporary musical landscape.
